Several studies have shown that the most accurate way to exploit traditional expertise is merely to add the expert evaluation as an additional factor in the statistical algorithm. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f68ba784-56b8-11dc-9a3a-0000779fd2ac.html">Instead of having the statistics as a servant to expert choice, the expert becomes a servant of the statistical machine. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/f68ba784-56b8-11dc-9a3a-0000779fd2ac.html">Mark E.
